    Habs UFA Thread

    in Habs & Hockey Talk

    Posted

    Well, if Koivu is your favourite player of all time, you must be pretty young. IMO, Koivu is certainly the least talented 1st centerman the Habs have had for a long time. He sure had a great heart, played injured and had to fight cancer. It tells a lot about this man. But the hockey player was not great. Look at his stats. He has not even reached the 200 goals level!

    I am sorry, but I won't miss the hockey player. In fact, I have been saying for years that the Habs should have traded him earlier. He was taking too much ice time for the quality of his play. He was also an average playmaker (and I am very polite here). I used to say that his line was the real "doughnut line" (the former one was the Shutt-Mahovlich-Lafleur's one). There was a hole in the centre, so no wonder that the puck was never coming from there.

    Yes JC i am young , I am 19, and ever since i started watching hockey, around 6 years old, Koivu was my guy, I dont care what people say about him. Just imagine your fav player leaving its not always easy. Koivu may not be the most talented guy but man he gave his heart and soul to the city, and i respect him for that. I think for us Canadian boys we want to see passion, grit, heart, and the desire to win and i think Saku had those components. God Bless.

    List of MY top 10 current NHL Coaches: (Base on experience and term)

    Mike Babcock (Detroit Red Wings) arguable, ok

    Lindy Ruff (Buffalo Sabres) arguable ok

    Brent Sutter (New Jersey Devils) totally yes

    Ron Wilson (Toronto Maple Leafs) arguable ok

    Joel Quenneville (Chicago Blackhawks) arguable ok

    Andy Murray (St. Louis Blues) underestimated yes

    John Tortorella (New York Rangers) no no no. Short term yes

    Pat Quinn (Edmonton Oilers) no no no. Short term yes

    Terry Murray (Los Angeles Kings) terry who?

    Dave Tippet (Dallas Stars) Mustache Hitchcock legacy? either I give too much credit to hitchcock either I don't give enough to Mustache.

    Jacques Martin (Montreal Canadiens) yes, or higher

    Claude Julien (Boston Bruins) now yes or higher, but not when he was with the habs... boring, not creative... even now, creativity problems.

    Alain Vigneault (Vancouver Canucks) yes.

    Ken Hitchcock (Columbus Blue Jackets) higher higher.

    Paul Maurice (Carolina Hurricanes) higher higher

    Barry Trotz (Nashville Predators) higher higher

    John Stevens (Philadelphia Flyers) John who?

    Bruce Boudreau (Washinton Capitals) yes, but ... even I with Ovie would make that list.

    Randy Carlyle (Anaheim Ducks) hmmm. dunno

    Dan Bylsma (Pittsburgh Penguins) higher way higher. just look the difference btw him and dofus therrien.

    Todd McLellan (San Jose Sharks) bof

    Peter DeBoer (Florida Panthers) i'd believe higher

    Cory Clouston (Ottawa Senators)i'd believe higher

    Rick Tocchet (Tampa Bay Lighting) next to be fired

    Wayne Gretzky (Phoenix Coyotes) next to be fired

    John Anderson (Atlanta Thrashers) next to be fired

    Scott Gordon (New York Islanders) next to be fired

    (This is a quick list, feel free to criticize and give your opinion)

    The reason I put those coaches at the bottom Alexstream was because they have a small about of games coached (and Gretzky just sucks) and Terry Murray led the Washington Capitals in 1989-90 season, to the conference finals and led the Philadelphia Flyers to the Stanley Cup Final in 1996-97. He played in the NHL and coached in the AHL before becoming coach and he hias over 800 games under his belt. Just because he is with LA doesn't mean he sucks lol.

    Pat Quinn did lead Canada to Gold medals so hes in that place because of experience not because of Toronto.

    Tortorella is an effective coach, he has a cup after all.

    Im sorry i don't like how this game thread was done. I would rather have Spider-Man NL or Cataclaw do the game threads. Random people dont work especially if you just put random pictures and start the thread a week beofre the playoffs. You should get permission to do game threads...end of story.

    Btw Cataclaw did you do it on purpose to write Boston Ruins?

    Yea French canadians seem to have problems with Saku, no matter what he does he's not good enough. But any French Canadian who puts on the CH is never bothered. Anyways im not going to get into a political debate so you Koivu haters can shove it!
